Solve the adjoint transport equationbackward with terminal value zero. Along the characteristic flow map , the required solution isDifferentiation under the integral verifies the equation. If has compact support in , then vanishes for and for , so as required.
When the initial datum is zero, inserting this into the weak formulation givesfor every . Thus almost everywhere. The difference of two bounded weak solutions has zero initial datum, so this proves uniqueness.
